Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

All Occasions Collection

Hi Everybody,

This is a collection that does what it says on the pack and it covers "all occasions". 

I am sure there are lots of instances when a card like this would be very welcome ... as well as exams and graduations too.

You can spend an evening cutting these words out ready to use, and then make up the sentences as you need them to add to your designs.

They also match with other words dies in other collections and so give you even more scope to work with.

This card has used the flower foam again and I have really enjoyed making these flowers. Another job that can be done in a n evening if front of the telly. Use your inks to add shading to the petals and the stamens.

I have added glitter to these flowers as I usually do and that gives them extra sparkle for your creations.

The ribbon is wrapped around the layers and fastened safely on the back for a neat effect.

More tomorrow ...

Winner

 Hi Everybody,

Thank you for joining in yesterday with the Facebook Live and I am so happy that you liked the collection. And also for the comments on Ella’s appearance in the video. She was at the vet on Thursday to be spayed and she is feeling a bit sorry for her self at present. But it is better than unwanted kittens and she will be fine in a couple of weeks.

The draw for the gift offered in the Friday Freebie has been done and as I explained I am unable to post it to you as yet because of the Cyber attack on Royal Mail.

But I promise you it will get to you eventually.

So the name this week is

Val Wallis

So if you could email your postal address please to me

christina@card-making-magic.com

and then be patient until it gets to you. Be sure to let me know when you do have it and I hope you enjoy playing with it once you do.

More tomorrow…

Hugs xx

The magazine is full of ideas and inspiration as usual and you are sure to enjoy settling down with a cuppa to browse the pages.

More foam flowers

Hi Everybody,

Tomorrow sees the launch of the new All Occasions Collection on Facebook Live and I will be there with Lou Collins at 12.30 so I hope you can join us then.

For this card I have cut the panel out with the Alternate Stitched 5x7 and used double sided tape in two different widths.

I have rubbed some purple foil over the top to leave the stripes.

The panel has then been embossed in a folder for texture before being added to the card base.

The banner has been cut with both the Stitched layer and the plain and they has also been embossed in the folder. 

The flower is created from some lilac foam using an old die that I have had for years and the layers are simply held together with a flower brad.

 I have a couple of demos to show you tomorrow and there will  be some prizes for you to win so don't forget to make a note in your calendar to join us tomorrow

More tomorrow ...
